What are some helpful tips for eager authors to avoid diving a little too deep into purple prose? I do want to flesh my author voice out and not drown it. Thanks for hosting the AMA. I do hope to gain some great insights.

Thank you for the in-depth reply. I do really like the perspective of splitting up any sentence into many more minute fragments. As for myself, I have acted upon the premise that each sentence should carry a distinctive sound to it─may it vary in rhythm or used cadence depending on the written theme.
Read aloud I find it easy to quickly spot the details that do not fit into the established sentence structures. Although that raises another concern that I wanted to bring up.
There seems to be a great rift between the ability to carry the aforementioned pizzazz when feelings are involved, since sometimes in regard to those sentiments, less can be more.
As someone that mainly uses first-person POV, details can sometimes hinder the flow of, arguably, subjective interpretations from the readers.
Have you made similar experiences? If so, what are your tips and tricks to avoid the issue at hand?
Thank you for the initial answer; it was very helpful.
